CONFIGURATION MEASUREMENTS
What are the measurements of the following areas?
If you’re not sure, here’s a quick guide.
Do you want the rails for A to be attached to the wall?
Our Wall Extension Kit is cost-effective, however, your wall needs to have structural integrity for railing to be able to support weight. A dry wall or wood block will NOT be enough.
COMPLETING YOUR SET
Do you need another set for the other side?
If you select ‘Yes’, we’ll account for a left and a right side in our recommendation.

Area A
Measuring your stairs
For any type of staircase, you need to get the distance between the edge of the first step landing and the edge of the top landing. It is possible that you are able to measure the total distance in one go using your tape, however, you can measure each step individually for precision.
Below, we illustrate how you can do this for the most common types of stairs:
Without nosing
With nosing
Step 1: Measure the run or tread depth of each step beginning with the first step landing until the last step landing
Step 2: Add each measurement to get the sum or distance of your stairs
In this example, each step has a run of 11 inches and we have 4 steps. The total distance is 44 inches or 3.67 feet.
For stairs with nosing, the tread depth is equal to the run of each step plus the nosing depth.
We will need to get the tread depth of the first landing, and then get the sum of the runs for all succeeding step landings.
Our instructions assume uniform measurements for each step.
Step 1: Measure the nosing of the first step landing
Step 2: Get the tread depth of the first step landing (include the nosing in the measurement)
Step 3: Measure the tread depth of the second step landing
Step 4: Subtract the nosing from Step 1 from the measurement you got in Step 3. This is the run for this step landing.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until you have the run for each succeeding step landing
Step 6: Add the tread depth of the first step landing (from Step 2) to the sum of the runs of the second step landing onwards (Step 4 and 5)
In this example, the first step is 12 inches deep and the succeeding steps are 11 inches deep. Together, the total distance is 45 inches or 3.75 feet.
Resolving clearance issues
Your top landing needs to have at least 8 inches of free space in order for the top rail to comfortably fit end-to-end without further adjustments.
If your top landing does not have enough clearance, the next section outlines some possible solutions for you.
Clearance workarounds
Option 1
Size down to a shorter variant (e.g., the 4 Step Kit).

Time & Effort
Pros
Easy. No modifications
Cons
Doesn’t cover entire length of stairs
Post baseplate potentially too close to step’s edge
Option 2
Move the whole rail kit down one step to bottom landing

Doesn’t cover entire length of stairs
Option 3
Position top rail further down instead of centered
Look
Function
Time & Effort
Pros
Top rail covers entire length until door
No cutting needed
Cons
Top rail extrudes at bottom
Requires self-drill holes
Option 4
Move upper post down and cut top & middle rail.
